Double Helix and Second Lobes?

Hello, I'm new here and I was wondering if it is possible to get my second lobe holes done at the same time as getting a double helix on my right ear? Would that mess up the healing or will it take longer? How/will it affect anything?

Also do any of you have tips for getting a helix? I will be getting it done in a piercing parlor, so no worries about guns and stuff.

I'd also recommend getting the lobes done first then the helix a couple of months later.

Many moons ago, I got my second lobes and double helix on my right ear in one sitting! Had a hell of a time healing tbh. Having rings as initial jewellery was a BAD idea as well.
So I'd say do them separately.

I got my helix and belly pierced on July 13 13. My piercer advise me to do one piercing (belly) and see if I can handle two more piercings. Honestly I could but I only gotten my belly/helix done. Helices are a pain in the butt if you hit them. Just get two at a time cause cleaning 4 piercings 3 times a day will be tiring.

Thanks for the advice, I got just the double helix done about a month and a half ago and everything is going fine, I might get the second lobes done next summer. I do have a small bump on the lower helix, but am trying out the hot sss compresses as it was said in 'The Bump' thread.

Ears: Standard lobes, right ear double helix

Want: Vertical labret, right nostril, left industrial, second lobe holes
